joined the ban wagon 56s all around

[Bhintz]

just finish off the sawp flexs much better but still not as good as I want, its relying mainly on the rear suspension, I think I might have tightened the shackles down to tight were they dont want to move that much but here are some pics

see theres not to much droop to the shackle

the rear

time for some add-a-leafs or new springs there way to soft

front compessed shackle

more to come

I'd say bumpstops are whats in order. unless you really feel they are too soft. Gonna kill those things quick, inverting them like that.

Nice job, don't kill me as I'm sure this question has been asked eleventy billion times, but what do the 56's do for ride height in the front? Also, what length shackles are you using front and rear?

git sits the exact same in the front as it did w/ 4 inch lift springs the rear is probably 6 inches, the shackles are 7.25 inches long but if I would do it again I run 6.75 or 7 inch shackles, and in the rear its and echobit flip flip summits lowering shackles on there I really actually measured them but I love the shackle angle it gives me

am I smoking crack, or can I see another mounting hole in those summit lowering shackles that would make them "shorter" in effect... and with some grinder work, shorter overall? One of the pics looks like it. Got a part number for them? All the ones listed on summits web site are "pic not available".

ooh ooh one more question...how long are your front brake lines and are they maxed out at full droop?

 

[jekbrown]

not sure how long they are, but pic #2 and the last pic seem to indicate that they are close to maxing out... they are pretty straight. Whatever length they are, I wouldn't run lines any shorter!

there are 2 which I like gives you options, yes you could grind them but I thought my shackle angle would be to far back heres the link

dunno got them at 4wp last min before ECBB b/c my old longer brake lines ripped in half, but they still had about 4 inches left in them

dont forget the spring clamps that are bent over will limit flex. get the tabs bent up and drill them and put bolts threw. good job.

 

[jekbrown]

thanks for the link. I think I may run those when I go to 56s...
